YouTube"It Gets Better" is a nationwide movement to inspire hope to LGBT teens who have been bullied.

In September 2010, after several reports of bullied students taking their own lives, syndicated columnist and author Dan Savage created a YouTube video with his partner Terry to inspire hope for young people facing harassment.

The message? "It gets better."

"Many LGBT youth can't picture what their lives might be like as openly gay adults," Savage said. "They can't imagine a future for themselves. So let's show them what our lives are like, let's show them what the future may hold in store for them."

Supported by other LGBT outreach programs such as The Trevor Project, GLSEN and ACLU LGBT, the It Gets Better Project has grown into a worldwide campaign to send personal messages to gay, lesbian and transgender students. By December 2010, they already had 10,000 user-created videos viewed over 35 million times.

In the latest video, compiled out of those 10,000 clips by Google Chrome, brief but powerful celebrity cameos from Adam Lambert, Anne Hathaway, Chaz Bono, Lady Gaga, and even Woody from "Toy Story" drive home the message of hope.

"Your life can be amazing," Savage explains in the video. "But you have to tough this period of it out. And you have to live."

"Look at me -- 80 years old," said one smiling octogenarian. "It gets better with age."

According to the It Gets Better website, nine out of ten LGBT teens say they've been bullied or harassed by their peers. Since the launch of It Gets Better, calls for help to the Trevor Project suicide hotline have increased over 50 percent.
